Specialty Use


What counts as Specialty Use? Just about anything that doesn't fall into the Office/Medical, Hospitality, Retail, Industrial, or Multifamily categories.

Everything from airports and marinas, storage facilities, sports stadiums, Little League and soccer fields, data centers, churches, and more can fall into this category.

LTVs to 65% or 75% are common, depending on the purpose of the property. With projects like these it is important to paint a complete picture of the enterprise and your goals, so that the funder will understand the purpose of your loan.

We work with you to create a funding presentation that emphasizes the great aspects of your project and will entice the funder to give it careful consideration. Some projects are easier to fund than others, but we work hard on every transaction to get you the best possible options.

Bridge Loans

Bridge loans are a good option for short-term (6 mos to 3 years) needs. With regard to multifamily, a bridge loan can allow you to rehab or upgrade a property or to increase occupancy to a level that will qualify for long-term financing (90-95%).


Fixed-Rate Loans

A fixed-rate loan offers payment certainty, as the only variations to your monthly payment will be annual increases in property taxes and insurance costs. In a declining interest-rate market, however, a fixed rate can work against you.


Adjustable-Rate Loans

Adjustable-rate loans usually offer lower interest rates than fixed-rate loans. In a declining interest-rate environment, your payment can actually decrease periodically. However, if interest rates rise, your payment will also increase.

LOAN CATEGORIES

Bank-Agency Loans
BANK/AGENCY LOANS

Referred to as Institutional, Permanent Loans, this category represents loans made to well-qualified borrowers. Debt Service Coverage Ratios from 1.25 to 1.55 and Occupancy Rates of 90% or greater, along with a high credit score are basic requirements for this type of loan. Most deals do not qualify for these best rates.

Alt-A
ALT-A

Usually deals that just miss the mark on A-Paper loans can qualify under Alt-A. Rates will be a little bit higher, but underwriting won't be as strict. DSCR ratios of 1.00 to 1.25 can qualify, and credit scores from 650 will be considered. Occupancy rates usually will need to be at 90% or greater for the last 90 days.

Hard Money Loan
HARD MONEY/bridge

Short-term loans fall into this category. This is our most popular loan option and allows a borrower to upgrade the property over six months to three years. Upgrades could involve renovation or rehabilitation, increasing occupancy, or simply improving the credit score or cash position of the borrower over time.
